  1. oh yes I am indeed looking for recipes like this! what a coincidence that just last week we had egg curry.

    • This egg curry recipe is very different from the one my mum use to make. We’re Burmese.
      How do you cook yours?

  3. I love eggs! We always include boiled eggs in saucy dishes like adobo, mechado and menudo, pandagdag rekado pa when on a tight budget. I would like to try this one, a dish of its own.

  6. hi,ms.connie..i’m a follower of your blog.. i already cooked this dish twice na..yummy and easy to cook..my brother loves the chili tomato sauce..perfect pair with fried fish talaga. :)

    • Ah so you saw this in Feast ASia? I’m moving the contents back here to use the feast domain for another project. :)

  8. I tried this one today… yippee what a relief from my old recipe, very fast and tasty.

    Try also to replace lemon with a squeezed diluted ripe tamarind in little water (a thumb size / used in Thai Cooking). Mine didn’t come out red in color so i put turmeric powder for color.

    I have this similar recipe learned from a Burmese friend and this is her version of an egg curry.
